Meta told to pay $375m for misleading users over child safety

The owner of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp has been found liable by a court in New Mexico.

The same company intentionally driving minors towards this content (despite claiming to care about them) is also lobbying in secrecy for requiring all of us to scan our ID and face in order to use our phones and computers.

Their stated reason? Child safety.

Their actual reason? You can figure that out.

Meta is like one giant cancer that grew a few small tumors of benign[1] nature, like some of their efforts in open source and open research (React, Llama, etc.).

[1]: I could be wrong thinking those are benign.

Everything consumer facing from meta is like a toxic waste hazard. It makes me sad seeing people stuck on those platforms.
